It’s no reddit in terms of quantity but honesty I’ve had higher quality topics and discussions here than there. Lemmy/kbin might not have taken off in the mainstream to offer a variety of subjects but when it comes to tech and software I think it’s covered well enough and people are generally nicer about it. The main problem is lack of (remotely) good seach function, I dont think the threads are getting indexed by google and the on-site search is atrocious.

I don’t know of any discord programming communities, I wish forums were still a thing but the only live one I know of is the jellyfin one after they moved from reddit. Other than that it’s here or the various subreddits

I’m hooked all over again, can’t wait to get to new content

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m struggling a bit to incorporate that command into podman compose though, I’m reading through this issue and I’m a bit lost.

Do I just add this to sonarr section in my yaml? I tried it and it doesn’t seem to have done much

x-podman:
    keep-id:uid=1000

Should I try and switch everything to podman kube play as some user there recommended maybe?

From what I read on their homepage, RPM Fusion just provides non-free software that Fedora/RH don’t usually want to ship themselves, it’s just precompiled RPMs for all available Fedora versions. Sounds to me like it should be the same, my currently installed nvidia driver version is 555.58.02 but I have no idea if that correlates to the version of ‘nvidia software’ app. Ugh every issue is just a pandora box of 10 other problems jumping out and strangling you

edit: Seems to have something to do with wayland/xorg? https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zxvrxk/nvidia_x_server_settings/ I have no idea what are the implications of this though

First of all, thanks for the suggestion! I am a bit confused though because my NVIDIA settings doesn’t have nearly as many options as that one:

Do I have something incorrectly installed? I followed the instructions from the linked resource to install the rpm fusion nvidia drivers since they aren’t available on fedora 40 on the store even with the 3rd party repositories enabled

Doesn’t that imply you still have to open up your phone to temporarily share to your pc whenever you need it?

Is this something like the overseerr but for phones?

If I do all that then my feed is going to be even emptier than it is now

Similar experience here. I have a nicely curated list of people I follow on twitter, they often retweet other users that are similar and I have a nice feed of good content that slowly grows without ever running into toxic assholes. On mastodon I couldn’t get anywhere close to that no matter how much I tried.

I have a mastodon account, I still check it occasionally and I’ve tried making it work a year ago, being active on it and following either people or hashtags. I also tried other networks like bsky and cara, or mastodon through kbin integration. None of them really worked out.

I didn’t have an issue with the technical side as much as with the community and its mentality. They all have this persecution complex where everyone is out to get them and destroy their way of living. They simultaneously claim it’s better and more morally superior than twitter while also responding to any questions or feedback with “if you don’t like it GTFO”. Most of the posts I’ve seen on mastodon seemed masturbatory and/or talking about other social networks and why are they bad than why is mastodon actually good. In many ways it was more toxic and negative than my carefully curated twitter feed. There’s also as much doom and gloom as on twitter, if not more, when it comes to politics (or at least, it’s harder to hide it).

The content in general was bad and boring but I don’t know if this is because of the type of people that are on it or just because the lack of algorithm means I will see any random person’s ramblings next to the biggest breaking news that I’m actually interested in. There is a lack of innovation in this area and it makes discoverability and content curation terrible, I don’t need an algorithm to read my mind but at the very least I wish it could separate trash from actual popular topics.

I found some interesting niches when it comes to FOSS developers and tech but I found next to no actual game devs, artists or content creators on it and even the usual “copy content from twitter” bots were unreliable and uncommon.

TL;DR Mastodon seems very very niche and is not currently viable as a general replacement for other social networks, and IMHO due to the community culture there it’s never going to grow into anything else either.
